Messrs. Erastus Wiman and Congress-
man Ben Butterworth are doing the
provinces" in an effort to work up COM
mercial union between the Dominion and
the United States According to the
newspaper reports they are meeting with
enthusiastic receptions everywhere and
the Canadians seem to labor under the
impression that they have some dele
gated authority from the United States
government to make the proposals
which they are making. OF course
they have no such authority. They
are in Canada simply to plead the cause
of commercial union on their own re
sponsibility. There il, in all human prob
ability, but one way in which a perma-
nent commercial union between Canada
and this country can be secured. If Can
ada would establish her independence OF
Great Britain, and then show desire for
annexation to the United States, the
scheme would have some hope of success,
But Canada is not ready for any such eX-
tensive change as that, and no other kind
of union is likely to find favor in this
country. Messrs. Wiman and Butterworth
are throwing away their time and labor.

local courts at Washington which in-
wolves one Of the clauses of the Edmunds-
Tucker polygamy law. IL is case in
which bigamy is charged. The prose
cution holds that the law says that a
mans wife cannot be compelled to testify
if she wishes. The defense holds she can
not testify without the consent of her hus-
band. The court has decided that the
testimony must be given on the demand
of the complainant. This Interpretation
of the law rather troubles the Mormons.

A correspondent of the New York Sun,
who has been looking over the political
field, predicts that President Cleveland
will not be nominated for reelection next
year. The mugwumps will not do it, he
says. The prohibitionist and labor par
ties won't do it, and "least of all can he
depend on the democratic party, for he
has heaped insult upon it." To this the
sun says amen. Nevertheless there is
every probability that Mr.. Cleveland will
be renominated if he lives till the next
democratic national convention meets.

The expenditures of the New York
press for news and for the mechanical
apparatus for producing newspapers are
amazing. The .New York Tribune will
put into its press room before the first of

each, having an aggregate value of $780,.
oOO, and an aggregate capacity of $4,000
copies an hour output. This is a heavy
Investment but It will enable The Tribune
not only to run off Its daily edition In
two hours, and lis weekly in about three,
but also to fold the supplement sheets
into the main sheets by machinery, and,
In the daily edition at least to paste the
two sheets together. The Tribune gives

Temperance Workers.

NASHVILLE, Nov. 9-President Joseph
II. Russell called the Temperance Alli-
ance to order at noon, the hall of the
House of Representatives being nearly
filled with delegates In his opening ad.
dress he referred to the late struggle. He
considered the vote in September most en-
couraging to the prohibitionists and sug.
gestive to their opponents that the fight
should go on until victory rewarded them,
and no man not sound prohibitionist
should be supported for the Legislature.
Gen. G. G.. Dibrell was made perma-
nent chairman.
The committee on credentials reported
about six hundred delegates.
NOVEMBER 1O.-The attendance at the
convention to-day was enormous and the
proceedings harmonious. The preamble
recites that the Amendment was defeated
in September by difference as to the
best means of obtaining prohibition, and
by the p0llution OF the ballot box by the
purchase of votes by money and whisky.
The resolutions are as follows
ResOlred, That this convention is in fa-
vor of and demands legislative prohibi.
tion of all intoxicating liquors as a bev.
erage and will use all legitimate means
for accomplishment of same and until
this is done we demand a strict enforce
ment of the four. mile law and all traffic.
Second. The cause of temperance and
prohibition having for its sole object the
promotion of the welfare of the people
and the good of humanity, should be
non-partizan as to existing political par
ties, and should receive the support of all
good people, of whatever sect, party or
name, and we deem the organization of
another political party unwise and unnec-
essary, unless the existing political par
ties should be subsidized in the interest
of the saloon and their power used to an
tagonize the cause of temperance and
prohibition.
Twenty-four of the committee signed
this report and three signed the minority
report favoring local option. The MAORI.
ty report was adopted by acclamation, af.
ter a number of speeches mostly favoring
it.
The convention then adjourned sine die.

Hon. John A. Martin, Governor Of Kan
sas, in his annual address in January,
1887, said
A great reform has certainly been ac-
complished in Kansas. Intemperance Is
steadily and surely DECREASING. In thous-
ands Of homes where want and wretched-
ness and suffering were once familiar
guests, plenty, happiness and content
ment now abide. Thousands of wives
and children are better clothed and fed
than they were when the saloons absorbed
all the earnings of husbands and fathers.
The marvellous material growth of the
State during the past six years has been
accompanied by an equally marvellous
moral progress, and It can be fairly and
truthfully asserted that in no portion of
the civilized world can half million of
people be found who are more temperate
than are the people of Kansas"

A Great Popular Cyclopedia.

The second volume of Alden's Mani
fold Cyclopedia more than bears out the
promises of the first. There seems to be
little doubt that it will prove to be the
great popular Cyclopedia for the next

is not only a novelty in plan, but to the
ordinary book-buyer the fact is hardly
less than astounding Its accomplish
ment will certainly be creditable to AL
den's Literary Revolution.
AS to the quality of the work, both
literary and mechanical, any common
sense reader Is oanable of Judging. The
two volumes received at this Office (Which
any reader is welcome to call and exam

stinted praise which they seem to be

The Western Settlers Chosen Specific.

With every advance of emigration into
the far West, new demand is created
for Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Newly
peopled regions are frequently less salu-
brious than older settled localities, on
account of the miasma which rises from
recently cleared land, particularly along
the banks of rivers that are subject to
freshets. The agricultual or mining emf
grant soon learns, when he does not
already know, that the Bitters afford the
only sure protection against malaria, and
those disorders of the stomach, liver
and bowels, to which climate changes,
exposure, and unaccustomed or un-
healthy water or diet subject him. Con-
sequently, he places an estimate upon
this great household specific and pre-
ventive commensurate with its intrinsic
merits, and is careful to keep on hand a
restorative and promoter of health so i'm
plicitly to be relied upon IN time of need.
